30 Brutally Honest Comics That Shed Light On The Uncomfortable Truth About Society
From politics to religion and even veganism, you'll see it all.
The French Impressionist Edgar Degas, who lived in the 19th century, once said, "Art is not what you see, but what you make others see." In fact, artists frequently convey a message through their elaborate works that elicit a wide range of feelings, including surprise, delight, rage, and more.
Art makes us notice things we haven't seen yet or, in certain situations, aren't willing to acknowledge, as the statement suggests. The cartoons and caricatures of Austrian artist Gerhard Haderer portray some difficult truths.
His sarcastic portrayals of modern society are often accurate while also being brutally honest. Some people believe that Gerhard Haderer, who was born in Leonding, Austria, is the greatest caricaturist and cartoonist in the German-speaking world.
He has experience working for advertising agencies as a graphic artist, draughtsman, and illustrator, in addition to being a self-employed cartoonist and satire illustrator. The artist has tackled a wide range of subjects during his varied career, including politics, religion, and even veganism.
He has also been featured in numerous periodicals. To give you an idea of what he was attempting to convey through his artwork, we have included a few examples in this collection.
